M18 MetalPhotoelectric Standard SensorsBOS 18M

Precise switching behavior – excellent repeat accuracy

Cutting-edge LED technology and the latest Fresnel lenses are

combined in this unit to form an innovative and powerful photoelectric

sensor. What this means in practice: Improved repeat accuracy and

precise switching behavior even at large distances.

n Long range

n Rugged M18 metal housing

n State-of-the-art LED technology with sharply contoured light spot

BOS 18M GlobalProx –

sound and cost-effective

We often come across systems in which a sensor adjustment is

not required, not possible or is undesirable. Our BOS-18M diffuse

sensors and light barriers from the Global family are the correct

choice for these applications. All of these sensors have a fixed

setting. This shortens the time required for system commissioning

and protects against tampering. Equipped with a sound basic range

of functions, these sensors also have the best possible

price/performance ratio.

n Sound performance and reliable object detection

n Ideal for standard applications, e.g. in automation

n Cost-effective alternative for all types of light

n Plug and play: All sensors with fixed setting

n Universal fastening thanks to wide range of assembly accessories

sound and cost effective

Balluff M18 laser diffuse sensors with background suppression are a

genuine highlight. They are available with different light types, allowing

you to simply select according to your requirements. The perfectly

focused light beam is able to detect the smallest of parts, grooves or

holes with maximum precision and reliability. The large light spot of

the red light variant with 300 mm is ideal for detecting objects with

notches, holes or openings, because breakthroughs and free areas

are simply bridged.

The 150 mm red light version is ideal for distinguishing between

foreground and background with high precision at extremely short

distances.

n Exact, almost color-independent object detection

n The correct light type for every application – laser or red light

n Precise setting with 10-turn potentiometer

n Robust M18 metal housing with same design for all types

n Universal fastening and alignment thanks to wide range of

assembly accessories

Photoelectric Standard SensorsBOS 18M

The BOS 18M(R) Laser series is characterized by long ranges and

absolute precision in small parts detection.

These sensors are Laser Class 1 and are available with axial or

radial light exit. Newly added is a diffuse version with background

suppression (Laser Class 2) and a sensing distance of 150 mm.

n Long ranges (50 m)

n High switching frequency (1.5 kHz)

n Straight- and right-angle versions

n Drill break monitoring

n Precise parts positioning

n Fast counting of objects

n High precision

The BOS 18MR product family has a built-in angled mirror made of

scratch-resistant glass which is attached to the housing. Since the

optical head does not protrude over the side, installation from the

front is no problem.

BOS 18M infrared – invisible power The successful BOS-18M series now also includes invisible infrared

light. This type of light demonstrates its advantages particularly

in heavily contaminated production environments: Objects are

reliably detected unimpeded by dust or dirt. With its range of over

100 meters, the high-power version of the through-beam sensor

impresses particularly in this area. The standardized design of all BOS

18Ms permits a simple change between the different types of light –

without assembly change.

n Reliable object detection even in a contaminated environment

n Invisible light – does not irritate personnel

n Simple and fast setting with potentiometer

n Through-beam sensor with test input for function check

n Wide range of assembly accessories

BOS 18M Teach-in For users who prefer the teach-in procedure for sensor setting, Balluff

now offers its successful red light series BOS 18M, with long ranges,

precise switching behavior and very high levels of repeat accuracy.

The top sensor in its class is quickly set at the push of a button.

Further advantage: The BOS 18M Teach-in reports “difficulties”

immediately by means of our patented “Dynamic Sensor Control”

diagnostic system, which is available as an option. The DSC allows

you to react immediately to contamination or malfunctions.

Even users without DSC can make use of the contamination

detection as the sensors are also optionally available with a separate

alarm output.

n Continuous sensor monitoring of contamination and malfunctions

n Switchable output

n Simple teach-in procedure

n Standardized BOS-18M design for fast sensor change

n Standard M18×1 housing made of metal (nickel plated brass)

n All sensors use visible red light

n IP 67 degree of protection

n Supply voltage 10...30 V DC, polarity reversal protected

n Output short circuit protected

n Roller conveyors

n Conveying lines
